Subject: [PATCH 18/75] staging: vt6656: [bug] Fix missing spin lock in iwctl_siwpower.

3.8.13.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Malcolm Priestley <tvboxspy@...il.com>

commit 91ec61f8f01cf32868e2ed2fa96a299e77964055 upstream.

Fixes occasional dead lock on power up / down.

spin_lock_irq is used because of unlocking with spin_unlock_irq
elsewhere in the driver.

Only relevant to kernels 3.8 and later when command was
transferred to the iw_handler.
